Yin Yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses. We will combine the body practice with some mindfulness exercises to slow the mind and bring about the parasympathetic healing state with a slow and steady approach. Holding the Yin Yoga poses in stillness as best we can, will allow the passive, long holds to strengthen and hydrate critical joint tissues in a way that most other practices cannot. Yin exercise targets the body’s connective tissues—including the ligaments, bones, cartilage, and tendons—as well as myofascia and three-dimensional web fascia, all major but often ignored components of flexibility, mobility, strength, and structure.
We will unwind tension in the body to bring long-lasting relief and health to the body’s critical “invisible half,” refreshing our minds to bring clarity and deeper understanding, and create spaciousness in the heart to let us live and love with greater ease and more joy.

Build physical and mental strength as you flow through a dance-like series of yoga poses, drawing on the breath as your inner source of power in this energizing class.
What to Expect
Set to heart-pumping music in a heated studio, this athletic class will shine a light on the reactivity of your mind. My sequencing builds throughout the 60 minutes to prepare your body for flowing in the finale flow. After a spinal warmup with an intentional Sun A and hip warmup with a Sun B designed to target the body parts we'll activate and lengthen in our Sun C, you will feel prepared for the series of flowing yoga sequenced specifically for you to explore poses on your own, moving at your personal pace. Your breath will guide you to a state of mental calm in the midst of this powerfully energetic experience.
Why it Works
FLOW is designed to reveal and cultivate your own internal resources — the rhythm of your breath, the steadiness of your mind and the strength of your body — so you can face life’s challenges with confidence and poise.

ROOT Hatha Fundamentals is a signature yoga class of LifePower Yoga at Life Time Frontenac. The intention for ROOT is to provide a welcoming entry point to Life Time Yoga. It is designed for students new to yoga, students dealing with physical limitations or injuries, and experienced students who are looking to slow their practice down. This class has a therapeutic quality to it by allowing students to feel more, look inward and heal deeply.
This is held in the large studio at Life Time and has become a family of students who are committed to rewarding their physical, mental and emotional beings with 60 minutes dedicated on each Saturday to their whole being. If you are new or not, this class has something for you. I guide it with loving care and intend for each student to find moments of deep connection to themselves and to discover new curiosity and wonder every week. We have props available again and use them regularly. Your sacred space awaits. Come settle your mind and center you.
